1 Project Description

1.1 General Overview

CAMBRIDGE GARMENTS Industry (CGI) is a leading fast fashion retailer in Pakistan, that deals in traditional and western clothing styles.
The company has a presence in every major city of Pakistan, operating most of the stores by itself, which goes by the name The Cambridge Shop (TCS).
CGI has captured the pulse of white-collar Pakistani men, who generally like to wear quality cotton shirts, with its craftsmanship and uncompromising quality.

2 Data Overview

We got raw sales data for CGI Men’s shirt, which is typically used in the Supply Chain department for sales tracking and stock movement analysis.
The data has multiple numerical and many categorical variables.
The data is invoice influenced, where each record represents a portion of the transaction or a value of a particular shirt brand sold.
To make use of this data for any Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and Machine Learning (ML), it is necessary to clean the data and adapt it according to our requirements.
The initial dataset contains 46 columns and 670,000 records, where each record is identified by a “BillNo”.
Each record contains information about the sold out shirt from TCS related to a particular “cobrand”, which results in multiple record of similar “BillNo” but of different “cobrands”.

If you think our project is boring look at this:

With clean data, we compare the location of TCS and prepare the location data of 68 positions with the help of Google Maps. This data is further used to present locations on maps.

Steps followed in the project

4 Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

It is important to name variables according to the data they hold and eliminates columns with similar data. This is perhaps the most important thing when one wrangles the actual data.
EDA includes the renaming of variables, eliminating variables, and comparing them to check whether they represent the data accordingly, through various graphs and charts.
Lastly, it is important to check the summary statistics of the data.

4.1 Step1 - Import modules


import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
import plotly.express as px
from sklearn.impute import SimpleImputer

4.2 Step2: Import data

df1=pd.read_excel('/Users/snawaz/Documents/pychilla2/teamproject_sep3/Deep_note_linked/Sales.xlsx')

4.3 Step3: Check shape of Data

df=df1.copy()
rows,cols=df.shape
print("Number of rows in dataset are",rows)

## Number of rows in dataset are 670082

print("Number of columns in the dataset are",cols)

## Number of columns in the dataset are 45

4.4 Step 4: Check the data types of the columns

df.info()

## <class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
## RangeIndex: 670082 entries, 0 to 670081
## Data columns (total 45 columns):

4.5 Step 5: Check the first 5 rows of the data

DT::datatable(head(py$df,20), options = list(pageLength = 5,scrollX=T))

4.6 Step 6: Check the null values of the data

Since there are either repetitive values or nans so we are dropping Attribute 4 column

msno.matrix(df)

Columns Attribute 6 and 7 have 100% missing values. There is no description available for Attribute5 column so all of these columns are dropped.

df.drop(['Attribute6','Attribute7'],axis=1,inplace=True)

4.7 Step 9: Dropping useless columns

df.Attribute4.unique()

## array(['CAMBRIDGE'], dtype=object)

Column Salemanname is a useless feature since we are not interested to identify the sales by each person to avoid bias in decision making.


df.drop('Attribute4',axis=1,inplace=True)
df.drop('SalesmanName',axis=1,inplace=True)
df.drop('Category',axis=1,inplace=True)

The data between columns CoBrand and CoBrand Acc is 99% similar so we are keeping only column out of it.

from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz

fuzz.token_sort_ratio(df['CoBrand'], df['Cobrand Acc'])

df.drop('CoBrand',axis=1,inplace=True)
df.drop('Barcode',axis=1,inplace=True)

4.8 Data Preprocessing

4.8.1 Renaming some columns

Based on the data description, we are renaming some columns to make it more readable

Attribute1 is the Inventory_status which shows the cloth which come back to ware house and go back for sales
Attribute2 is the offer ctypes at the shops.
Attribute8 is the type of the cloth.
Attribute3 is the import from which cloth is imported.

df = df.rename(columns={'Attribute1':'Inventory_status',
'Attribute2':'Offers','Attribute8':'Class_of_cloth',
'Attribute3':'Import_type'})

4.8.2 For customer column

Using returning and non-returning customers.
We identify the customers by names and assume that customers with identical names is actually a returning customer.
We will look in graphs if the returning customers are more profitable than the non-returning customers.

df['Customer']=df.Customer.duplicated()
df['Customer'].replace(True,'Returning_Costumer',inplace=True) #<<
df['Customer'].replace(False,'NoN_Returning_Costumer',inplace=True) #<<
df.Customer.value_counts()

## Returning_Costumer        596405
## NoN_Returning_Costumer     73677
## Name: Customer, dtype: int64

For loyalty card column. We replaced NaNs with No and Yes for the rest of the values.
LoyaltyCard is the actually card offered to customers to get discounts and offers.

df['LoyaltyCard']=df.LoyaltyCard.duplicated()
df['LoyaltyCard'].replace(True,'Yes',inplace=True)
df['LoyaltyCard'].replace(False,'No',inplace=True)

4.8.3 Column Imputing by sklearn Imputing

We used the sklearn imputer to impute the missing values in the data. We used the most frequent value to impute the missing values in the data.

imp = SimpleImputer(strategy="most_frequent")
df['Inventory_status']=imp.fit_transform(df[['Inventory_status']])

imp = SimpleImputer(strategy="most_frequent") #<<
df['Import_type']=imp.fit_transform(df[['Import_type']])

df['Offers']=imp.fit_transform(df[['Offers']])
df['Attribute5']=imp.fit_transform(df[['Attribute5']])
df['BrandName']=imp.fit_transform(df[['BrandName']])
df['Description']=imp.fit_transform(df[['Description']])
df['Inventory_status']=imp.fit_transform(df[['Inventory_status']])

df.SalesReturnReason = df.SalesReturnReason.replace(np.nan,'No information available')
df.Class_of_cloth = df.Class_of_cloth.replace(np.nan, "No information") # replacing Nan values with 0 value

df.DiscountType = df.DiscountType.replace(np.nan, 'No Discount') # replacing Nan values with Most  frequent value

4.9 Summary of the data

df.describe().T

5 Data Transformation

Next, we checked the Pearson correlation and visualized it through a heat map. This shows which variables are highly correlated and in this case, “Qty” is highly correlated with “NetAmount”, “SalesExclGST” and “GST”.

Now we will treat the data with outliers and apply some statistical tests

There are many outliers in numerical columns which can be shown by boxplot. We will use the IQR method to remove the outliers.

6 Data Transformation

6.0.1 Checking skewness of the data

# Library for skewness
from scipy.stats import skew
print('Skew of Price',skew(df.Price))

## Skew of Price 1.7332960811793

print('Skew of Amount',skew(df.Amount))

## Skew of Amount 0.5264229479147174

print('Skew of SaleExclGST',skew(df.SaleExclGST))

## Skew of SaleExclGST 0.053907402377267245

print('Skew of GSTP',skew(df.GSTP))

## Skew of GSTP 3.422663381156023

print('Skew of GST',skew(df.GST))

## Skew of GST 1.8886742450354679

print('Skew of BarcodeDiscPer',skew(df.BarcodeDiscPer))

## Skew of BarcodeDiscPer -0.11344278021015818

print('Skew of BarcodeDiscount',skew(df.BarcodeDiscount))

## Skew of BarcodeDiscount 1.639017468026673

print('Skew of NetAmount',skew(df.NetAmount))

## Skew of NetAmount 0.11210500286062883

print('Skew of PointsEarned',skew(df.PointsEarned))

## Skew of PointsEarned 21.43903163597488

Now by imputing right skewed by median and left skewed ‘Price’ by mean we will remove the outliers.

df['Qty'] = impute_outliers_IQR_with_median(df['Qty'])
df['Price'] = impute_outliers_IQR_with_mean(df['Price'])
df['Amount'] = impute_outliers_IQR_with_median(df['Amount']) #<<
df['SaleExclGST'] = impute_outliers_IQR_with_median(df['SaleExclGST'])
df['GSTP'] = impute_outliers_IQR_with_median(df['GSTP'])
df['GST'] = impute_outliers_IQR_with_median(df['GST'])
df['BarcodeDiscPer'] = impute_outliers_IQR_with_mean(df['BarcodeDiscPer'])
df['BarcodeDiscount'] = impute_outliers_IQR_with_median(df['BarcodeDiscount'])
df['NetAmount'] = impute_outliers_IQR_with_mean(df['NetAmount'])
df['PointsEarned'] = impute_outliers_IQR_with_median(df['PointsEarned'])
df['DiscPer'] = impute_outliers_IQR_with_median(df['DiscPer'])
df['DiscAmount'] = impute_outliers_IQR_with_median(df['DiscAmount'])

After outliers removal in numerical variables

We can apply the shapiro wilk test to check if the data is normal.

# Shapiro wilk test
from scipy.stats import shapiro #<<
print('ShapiroTest of Price',shapiro(df.Price))

## ShapiroTest of Price ShapiroResult(statistic=0.8969478011131287, pvalue=0.0)

6.1 Normalization of the numeric columns.

6.1.1 Methods of Normalization

Four common normalization techniques may be useful:

scaling to a range(min-max)
clipping
log scaling
z-score

We use the standard scaler to normalize the data.


from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
scaler = StandardScaler() #<<
df[['Qty','Price','Amount','SaleExclGST','GSTP','GST','BarcodeDiscPer','BarcodeDiscount','NetAmount','PointsEarned','DiscPer','DiscAmount']] = scaler.fit_transform(df[['Qty','Price','Amount','SaleExclGST','GSTP','GST','BarcodeDiscPer','BarcodeDiscount','NetAmount','PointsEarned','DiscPer','DiscAmount']])

Checking the normality after normalization

from scipy.stats import shapiro
print('ShapiroTest of Price',shapiro(df.Price))

## ShapiroTest of Price ShapiroResult(statistic=0.8945704102516174, pvalue=0.0)

print('ShapiroTest of Amount',shapiro(df.Amount))

## ShapiroTest of Amount ShapiroResult(statistic=0.9033786058425903, pvalue=0.0)

print('ShapiroTest of SaleExclGST',shapiro(df.SaleExclGST))

9 Machine learning Model Building

ML has been applying in the capacity of Regression, Classification, Clustering and Deep Learning models. “Price” has been a dependent variable in every model except Classification. “Season” is used as a output variable in Classification. The concept of taking price, is to determine the customer behaviour with regards to price.

Dependent variables in various ML algorithms will be * Price for linear regression where other select features will be independent variable. * Price for multilenar regression where all other variables will be independent. * Inventory_status and LocalImport where all other are independent variables in classification ML model. * Price in Deep learning model * 2 Clustering Models for SeasonName.

9.1 Step_1: Encoding the categorical columns

We will use One_Hot encoding for 2 variables Attribute8 which is actually the class of the sales and Local Import

One_hot_encoded_data = df_Ml[['Offers']]

enc = OneHotEncoder()
enc_results = enc.fit_transform(One_hot_encoded_data)


enc=pd.DataFrame(enc_results.toarray(), columns=enc.categories_)

10 Classification Models

Target feature: Inventory_status & LocalImport
Independent features: All other features obrained after CV and feature selection

10.1 Local Import as target feature

10.1.1 Step 1: Subset of large dataset

We selected a sample of 10000 rows for comparison of different classification model.

df_M = df_Ml.sample(10000).reset_index(drop=True)

10.1.2 Step2 Test train split the data

Data is splitted before hand with 30% test data and 70% train data.

X=df_M.drop('LocalImport',axis=1)
y=df_M['LocalImport']

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.30, random_state=44, shuffle =True)

10.1.3 Step 3: Make a list of classification models we want to apply

final_clf = None
clf_names = ["Logistic Regression", "KNN(3)", "XGBoost Classifier", "Random forest classifier", "Decision Tree Classifier",
            "Gradient Boosting Classifier", "Support Vector Machine"]

10.1.4 Step4: Apply each model on 10000 rows dataset and get the scores

classifiers = []
scores = []
for i in range(10):
    
    tempscores = []
    
    # logistic Regression
    lr_clf = LogisticRegression(n_jobs=-1)
    lr_clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
    tempscores.append((lr_clf.score(X_test, y_test))*100)
    
    # KNN n_neighbors = 3
    knn3_clf = KNeighborsClassifier(n_jobs=-1)
    knn3_clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
    tempscores.append((knn3_clf.score(X_test, y_test))*100)

    # XGBoost
    xgbc = XGBClassifier(n_jobs=-1,seed=41)
    xgbc.fit(X_train, y_train)
    tempscores.append((xgbc.score(X_test, y_test))*100)

    # Random Forest
    rf_clf = RandomForestClassifier(n_jobs=-1)
    rf_clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
    tempscores.append((rf_clf.score(X_test, y_test))*100)

    # Decision Tree
    dt_clf = DecisionTreeClassifier()
    dt_clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
    tempscores.append((dt_clf.score(X_test, y_test))*100)

    # Gradient Boosting 
    gb_clf = GradientBoostingClassifier()
    gb_clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
    tempscores.append((gb_clf.score(X_test, y_test))*100)
    
    #SVM
    svm_clf = SVC(gamma = "scale")
    svm_clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
    tempscores.append((svm_clf.score(X_test, y_test))*100)
    
    scores.append(tempscores)

scores = np.array(scores)
clfs = pd.DataFrame({"Classifier":clf_names})
for i in range(len(scores)):
    clfs['iteration' + str(i)] = scores[i].T

means = clfs.mean(axis = 1)
means = means.values.tolist()

clfs["Average"] = means


clfs.set_index("Classifier", inplace = True)
print("Accuracies : ")
clfs["Average"].head(10)

image

At this stage we have got the best classification with highest accuracy for getting prediction of LocalImport variable.

10.1.5 Step 5: Selecting full data for feature selection

X=df_M.drop('LocalImport',axis=1)
y=df_M['LocalImport']

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.30, random_state=44, shuffle =True)

print('X_train shape is ' , X_train.shape)
print('X_test shape is ' , X_test.shape)
print('y_train shape is ' , y_train.shape)
print('y_test shape is ' , y_test.shape)

Now comes the best feature selection part. We will use RFE to select the best features for each model.

10.1.6 Step 6: Select and plot best features by`features_importance`

model = GradientBoostingClassifier()
model.fit(X,y)
plt.style.use('ggplot')
plt.figure(figsize=(6,10))
feat_importances = pd.Series(model.feature_importances_, index=X.columns)
feat_importances.nlargest(50).plot(kind='barh')
plt.savefig("extra_tree.png",dpi=200)
plt.show()

image

Only 7 features are good enough out of 38 to train our final model. so we drop rest of the features below.

df_M = df_Ml[['BrandName','Attribute5','GSTP','SeasonName','BillMonth','Price','DesignNo','Import_type','LocalImport']]

We could also select Pearson’s corelation coefficient values

10.1.7 Step 7: Hyperparameters selection

Making a dictionary of the hyperparamters for Gradient boost model. We will apply grid cross validation approach to select best hyperparamters for our selected model.

#Creating Parameters
params = {
    'learning_rate':[0.1,1],
    'n_estimators':[5,9, 11,12,13,15,20,25,26,29,31,20,50,75,100],
    'max_features':['auto','sqrt','log2'],
    'criterion':['friedman_mse', 'squared_error', 'mse'],
    'loss':['log_loss', 'deviance', 'exponential']
}


#Fitting the model

from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV

rf = GradientBoostingClassifier()
grid = GridSearchCV(rf, params, cv=3, scoring='accuracy')
grid.fit(X_train, y_train)
print(grid.best_params_)
print("Accuracy:"+ str(grid.best_score_))

{‘criterion’: ‘friedman_mse’, ‘learning_rate’: 1, ‘loss’: ‘exponential’, ‘max_features’: ‘auto’, ‘n_estimators’: 75} Accuracy:1.0

It gives us the best hyperpatamters at scoring paramter chosen as accuracy.
Remember model will remain the same with similar X_train, y_train data.

10.1.8 Step 8: Final application of model

# applying model with best hyperparameters

rf = GradientBoostingClassifier(criterion='friedman_mse', learning_rate=1, loss='exponential', max_features='auto', n_estimators=75)

rf.fit(X_train, y_train)

y_pred = rf.predict(X_test)

# from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, confusion_matrix, classification_report

print("Accuracy Score: ", accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred))

print("Confusion Matrix: ", confusion_matrix(y_test, y_pred))

Accuracy Score: 1.0 Confusion Matrix: [[ 9895 0] [ 0 191130]]

We have got 100% accuracy for our final model.

10.1.9 Step9: Model scores and evaluation

from sklearn.naive_bayes import GaussianNB
from yellowbrick.classifier import ClassificationReport

# Instantiate the classification model and visualizer

visualizer = ClassificationReport(rf)

visualizer.fit(X_train, y_train)  # Fit the visualizer and the model
visualizer.score(X_test, y_test)  # Evaluate the model on the test data
visualizer.show()

image

10.1.10 Step 10: Saving the model to get prediction later

import pickle
pkl_filename = "localImport_model.pkl"
with open(pkl_filename, 'wb') as file:
    pickle.dump(grid, file)

# Load from file
with open(pkl_filename, 'rb') as file:
    pickle_model = pickle.load(file)

# Calculate the accuracy score and predict target values
score = pickle_model.score(X_test, y_test)


y_predict = pickle_model.predict(X_test)

11 Classification Models

11.1 `Inventory_status` as target feature.

Best Params: {‘criterion’: ‘entropy’, ‘max_features’: None, ‘n_estimators’: 75, ‘random_state’: 1} Train MSE: 0.0 Test MSE: 0.146

modelkn = RandomForestClassifier(random_state=1,criterion= 'entropy' ,n_jobs=-1, n_estimators=75, max_features=None) 

modelkn= modelkn.fit(X_train,y_train)

y_11 = modelkn.predict(X_test)

12 Regression Models

12.1 Price and SaleExclGST as target features.

Target features: Price of article. & SaleExclGST gained by company +NetAmount paid by customer.
In one regression model there is only 1 target feature while in the other there are two target features.
Only difference from the previous approach is the use of RepeatedKFold cross validation method to get the best model.
Model evaluation is done by R2 score and negative RMSE score.
Again we use sample of 10000 rows to compare models followed by full sample to train the final model.

models = {}
models['lr']= LinearRegression()
models['dr'] = DecisionTreeRegressor()
models['rf'] = RandomForestRegressor()
models['kn']=  KNeighborsRegressor()
models['ad'] = AdaBoostRegressor()
models['ex'] = ExtraTreesRegressor()
models['sv'] = SVR()


from sklearn import model_selection

for model in models:
  cv = sklearn.model_selection.RepeatedKFold(n_splits=100,n_repeats=1,random_state=1)
  n_scores = model_selection.cross_val_score(models[model],X,y,scoring='neg_root_mean_squared_error',cv=cv,n_jobs=-1)
  print(model, np.mean(n_scores),np.std(n_scores))

lr -0.015952386710040633 0.023420996302700597 dr -0.0684330302042271 0.13595572185672142 rf -0.05608366484049382 0.13108548370117068 kn -0.953965008983964 0.20208368080610473 ex -0.056439850981039486 0.19471193286786767

We picked Random Forest regressor for further analysis.

12.1.1 Features selection by two methods: `RFECV` method

image

Best Hyperparameters for Price prediction are: {‘criterion’: ‘absolute_error’, ‘max_features’: ‘sqrt’, ‘n_estimators’: 11, ‘random_state’: 33} Train MSE: 0.01264030494634164 Test MSE: 0.003932264888039404

After putting 5 features and above hyperparameters we get model scores as Test MSE: 0.003932264888039404 Test RMSE: 0.001966132444019702

R-squared score (training): 0.986 R-squared score (test): 0.995

16 Conclusion

Cambridge Industries makes a database of their sales.
All the information related to customer choices such as loyalty card, product exchanges and type of product bought is available is the database.
We have performed EDA analysis followed by data cleaning and feature engineering.
Statistical aanalysis show that there is significant difference between sales offline and online sales offered by the company.
We have taken subset of data based on different products and locations. A map was shown where the products are bought and delivered.
We have used different machine learning models to predict the price of the product such regression, classification, clustering and deep neural network with output features Sales (revenue of the company), inventory_status, SeasonName and Price respectively.
In the end we conclude that Company should focus on the products which are in high demand and are in stock.
